A charming school story with a twist—new from John Stadler!
Wilson had just finished his first week of school and could not wait for the next one to begin. He was very fond of his new teacher, Miss Lovely. But something was wrong that day—very wrong. There were no school buses, the school itself was empty, and something strange was approaching. Undeterred and ever-hopeful that he would see Miss Lovely soon, Wilson went through his normal school day alone—he did his math lesson alone, his science lesson alone, sent himself to the principal’s office when he was naughty, and more, but still . . . something was approaching.
Stadler skillfully uses gatefold flaps to keep the suspense mounting until we find out just who—or what—was approaching.
Readers will love following Wilson and his day at school right out of a Twilight Zone episode in this funny, sweet, and sometimes scary story.

John Stadler is the author of almost thirty children’s books, among them the recent The Ballad of Wilbur and the Moose, Big and Little, and the bestselling The Adventures of Snail at School. He lives with his wife, Nomi, in New Hampshire.
Kindergarten-Grade 2—A mix of humor and suspense drives this rather improbable story. A bunny named Wilson has attended school for a week, and he loves his teacher so much that he lies in bed at night waiting to go to school. When morning arrives, he jumps out of bed and rushes to get ready while his family is still asleep. A flap opens to reveal a big green foot with claws, and below it the text reads, "Wilson, however, was not the only one up and about!" Finished with breakfast, the rabbit leaves the house and waits alone (he imagines) for the school bus, and when it does not come, he runs to school. After sitting quietly at his desk in an empty classroom, Wilson gets up and conducts the arithmetic, reading, and science lessons. Meanwhile, behind additional flaps, the mysterious green being is gradually emerging. The cartoon illustrations depict an expressive Wilson (who soon discovers that it is Saturday), and a reassuring picture concludes the story with the monster, revealed to be Miss Lovely, carrying a happy Wilson home on her tail. Children will enjoy the silliness.—Kirsten Cutler, Sonoma County Library, CA END
